A summer classic by two masters, reissued and redesigned for contemporary audiences.
Wendell Minor’s elegant artwork and Charlotte Zolotow’s simple, evocative prose brings a day at the beach vividly to life as a boy and his mother imagine what it would be like to spend a day at the seashore. Hunting for seashells and building sandcastles, this tribute to the power of imagination and the tenderness of a mother-child connection is also a sweet ode to summer's greatest pastimes. Perfect for storytime or bedtime.
"What is the seashore like?" a little boy asked his mother. He lived in the mountains and had never seen the sea. His mother smiled. "Let's pretend," she said. "It is early morning at the seashore, and it's hard to tell where the sea stops and the sky begins."
